Digital X Bus
• This is perfect for raising or lowering a com-
plete set of automation moves. For example, if
the vocal track is perfectly crafted and struc-
tured, yet the entire track needs to come up a
couple of dB in the mix, fear not. Select Trim,
start time code, enter WRITE mode and, with
one move, increase the vocal track fader 2 dB
throughout the duration of the pass.
Latch
• This determines the action of overwriting auto-
mation data during a pass.
• When Latch is selected (a checkmark appears
next to Latch in the Automation submenu), au-
tomation data for the selected parameter begins
to be overwritten as soon as the parameter’s
control is adjusted and continues to be overwrit-
ten throughout a pass, even if the parameter’s
control ceases to change.
• When Latch is off, automation data for the
selected parameter begins to be overwritten as
soon as the parameter’s control is adjusted, but
as soon as the parameter’s control stops chang-
ing, the subsequent automation data is left
intact.
Faders
• This readies the automation computer to record
all fader movements for any write-enabled chan-
nel.
Mutes
• This readies the automation computer to record
all mute activity for any write-enabled channel.
Pans
• This readies the automation computer to record
all pan movements for any write-enabled chan-
nel.
• All surround pans are recorded as well as L/R
positioning. However, surround output, depth of
center, and LFE Level are not written with this
selection (use Other/All to write automation for
these parameters).
Other
• Sets the automation computer to record all pa-
rameter changes for the write-enabled channels,
other than the individually selectable Faders,
Mutes, and Pans.
Write Flyback
• This determines what happens to the parameter
levels upon punch-out of automation record.
• When Write Flyback is selected (a checkmark
appears next to Write Flyback in the Automa-
tion submenu), each parameter recorded into
automation returns to its previously adjusted
status at the end of a record pass. A track that
was off for an entire arrangement snaps back to
off, after the level is increased, when punched
out of write-record.
• When Write Flyback is off, parameter adjust-
ments in automation remain at their last
user-adjusted setting, even after the end of the
automation pass.
Transport Submenu
Use Pre-Roll
• Sets the playback cursor a specifi ed amount
ahead of the locate point.
• The amount of Pre-roll is set in the Windows >
Setup > Mix Options window.
• Pre-roll is used to provide a set time period
for all synchronized device transports to lock
together.
• Ideally, Pre-roll is equal to the sync-lock time
for the recording system’s transports so that
synchronized playback is a reality by the time
the devices roll past the locate position.
• Pre-roll is also useful when you are punching
in a solo or voice overdub and want to give the
talen some extra lead-in time to prepare record-
ing their part(s).
Record Safe
• When Record Safe is selected, the channel
RECORD buttons will not engage. However,
automation data can still be written.
One Button Record
• When this option selected, record mode is ac-
tivated by pressing the RECORD button in the
control surface’s transport section.
• When One Button Record is not selected, the
PLAY button must be held down while pressing
the RECORD button to engage record mode.
• To punch out of record mode, simply press
PLAY, STOP, REWIND, or FAST FWD.
• One Button Record only affects the punch-in
procedure. The punch-out procedure is the same
regardless of the status of One Button Record
(hit any other transport button to punch out).
